A noncriminal mother of four was deported. Now in Mexico, she fears for her safety. wapo.st/2oSEHS9

So depressing to read all the bile voiced in comments after the article. People are cruel.

He's not the only player in this, Ginger - even though he may still think he is at times.

Day 99 in office: @realDonaldTrump names anti-choice extremist to top HHS spot. Trump's #100Days are a #disgrace. www.politico.com/story/2017/04/28/charmaine-yoest-assistant-secretary-of-public-affairs-hhs-237743 …

Serious concerns being voiced that they are going to topple Roe v Wade.

From the article:

"Yoest isn’t the only Trump administration appointee who has expressed critical views about abortion and other social issues. Katy Talento, a health aide for the White House Domestic Policy Council, has taken the controversial view that contraception poses major dangers to women and causes abortion and miscarriages."

This is worrying.

Trump tax plan will tax your 401 k to cut taxes for corporations. They aren't even pretending to be for regular people anymore.

61% of Republicans believe that if Russia were proved to have meddled in US election it would not be a problem/ minor problem. Wow #trump pic.twitter.com/rsyf6UVLpH

So here's how it goes:

1-Tillerson eliminates 2300 jobs. Claims of 'streamlining'.

2-Surprise, surprise!! It's discovered that the DoS 'can't function efficiently' due to lack of staffing

3-These jobs (probably renamed or re-classified) are filled with Trump favourites & 'spies'

Remember that the DoS handles the vast majority of our foreign contacts and as a result a great number of foreign entities wanting to do business with the US. This 'streamlining' is a great way to stack the odds in favour of pro-Trump deals.

You know looking at that statistic about 60 odd percent of American's not caring about Russia meddling in the election makes me think.

If I wanted to bring Trump down I'd put investigating the Russia connection on the back burner.

I'd focus all my efforts on exposing the alleged 17 hushed up abortions. Because from what I've read of Trump supporters they would find that far more of an issue than the Russia thing and that would get him out quicker than treason (bafflingly)

I have a relative working for DoS, however, they are a Trump fan, so probably will remain.

catgirl I believe there are people working on that.

This is truly the stuff of nightmares. Imagine you'd been in a coma for 2 years and woke up to this. You'd think you were having a psychotic episode. I'm a CPN who works with women with mental health problems who are pregnant or have a baby under a year old. I have seen 2 new patients today- one who is heavily pregnant and one with a 2 week old baby, both planned and much wanted. Both of them were crying completely inconsolably and saying that they wish they could turn the clock back and not get pregnant and feeling the most awful fear and guilt for bringing a child into the world in its present state. And I just didn't know what to say to them.
I am determined not to get desensitised to 45 and begin to see him in the same way I see my mad uncle who sits there at every family gathering talking complete gibberish and everyone just tolerates him because he's basically harmless.
Trump is a narcissistic sociopath who is also possibly showing signs of dementia and he is the 'leader of the free world'. HOW did this happen?
Cracks open

Are they still a Trump fan, though?

“He’s going to reiterate his commitment to the 2nd Amendment” says @PressSec of @POTUS speech to @NRA.

cozie yes, sadly I have a few relatives that are die hard Trump supporters.

Of course. (Although 'commitment' - to anything at all - may be a concept that someone has to try to explain to him.)
